    Field Leathers

    Not if you’re trying to make a living, no. If the crucial factor is “time spend sewing the jacket together“, there is only so much you can do to optimise your processes other than hiring more machinists. I am currently speaking to a super small maker too. A rookie to the trade, and he charges...

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    To add a little measure to the general consensus: I first handled FCL when I visited VMC in Zurich. They had the Leon and the Eric. I told them, I didn’t like the leather as it appeared papery to me and had no graining whatsoever. A bit like LL standard horse in 1/3 thickness. They assured me...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Oh, absolutely. I like the combo "Leather and Hoodie" and find it´s a good match, especially with collarless jackets (incl. mandarin collars).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Nice! Good Vibes in the picture too. Very Kerouac or Salinger.

    Kreosote Boots

    I feel you. Ridiculous, but sadly far from unheard of. As long as there is communication, I am super easy with the daily struggles of small-businesses. A lot of things can happen, and some of it is not in your control. However, going AWOL or making generic excuses without giving you a chance to...

    First snow of the season overnight. Cold and wet, so I threw on a jumper and this beauty for the commute to the office.

    [FS] Y'2 Leather KAKISHIBU PERSIMMON TANNED HORSEHIDE Single Riders Jacket [40]

    I sized up one from my normal Y2-size (like I do with the western shirts). I like how it fits, but it has some room to move/layer. Unlike say a bike jacket, this style looks best if it´s not too form-fitting, IMO.

    [FS] Y'2 Leather KAKISHIBU PERSIMMON TANNED HORSEHIDE Single Riders Jacket [40]

    Stunning! I have the Chore Coat in that hide. If it’s the right size it doesn’t get much better than that!

    Aero Half-belt Deluxe review and fitment check!

    Wow, first time I hear abaout DuckFeet. Just checked their website and should give them a go. How do you find sizing as compared to other makers? Re jacket: I have rarely seen a better fitting LHB; it´s not easy to get the lenght exactly right but you and the Aero team nailed that one!

    Help finding this Leather Jacket (Cafe Racer with Stripes)

    Oh man, that´s at least misleading. You CAN customize the stripes, both on their Easy Rider and on their Super-Sportsman; I had a lenghty discussion with them this year August. Isn´t it always great when the customer service guys don´t have an intrinsic motivation to eyplore how to meet customer...

    Help finding this Leather Jacket (Cafe Racer with Stripes)

    If you are in this for the long run, try to go there in person. I have found the customer service in the shop to be much more reliant than via E-Mail. Also, you can see their actual designs/check their patterns. I am thinking that maybe you will want to go with the standard Cafe Racer with...

    Help finding this Leather Jacket (Cafe Racer with Stripes)

    Lewis Leathers. If you can, drop by their shop in London. If cost is no factor, Himel has done racing stripes on his Brimaco inspired CR before. As others have said, Johnson Leathers, but as yourselves I have found them hard to get to talk to me.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    No sun for the last two weeks, constant rain for 36 hours, and if the temps keep dropping at the current rate, there’ll be snow before the end of the week too. Guess that’s exactly why the higher powers had Vanson come up with Comp Weight.

    FS: Y2 NH-55 Saddle Horse (sz. 46L)

    Thank you. It may even be your size. I am between 44 and 46 with Y2 and usually pull off the bigger ones ok. I just found that this style shouldn’t be oversized. Expensive lesson, so trying to get back some.
